There is a new date in the fantasy calendar. There are already two dates in the year celebrated by Tolkien enthusiasts, there is the Birthday Toast on the 3rd January (JRR Tolkien’s birthday) and the Oxonmoot on September the 22nd (Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday). March the 25th marked the Downfall of Sauron in the Lord of the Rings and on this day Middle-earth fans around the world met to read and listen to the Lord of the Rings in its entirety.
The first Tolkien reading day was in 2003 and the tradition is still going strong.
